CARTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES 42nd YEAR, NO. 62. TWO SECTIONS TEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1953 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS NEWS-TIMES OFFICE 804 AranMl St. Mwihttd City Phoi* 6-4175 Mosquito Control Program Hits Wall of 'No Money' Mosquito and pest control tori Carteret county hit the atone wall of the county's finances yesterday morning when the county commis sioners heard a report prepared by the mosquito control committee. Dr. G. C. Cooke, chairman of the committee, made the report. The commissioners were delighted with everything in the report except the item calling for the expenditure of $0,000 for equipment and (1,000 a month for controlling pests. This amount was described as minimum in the committee's report which was largely drawn by E. G. McKinley of Morehead City, an en tomologist who works at Cherry Point and is in charge of the mos quito control program on the base. Moses Howard, commissioner from Newport, said he had been "in hopes the government through Cherry Point might be able to help out" in controlling the mosquito. It was pointed out that if the coun ty authorised the Marine corps, planes would begin spraying lands and marshes owned by the govern ment. The commissioners finally de cided to accept the report, endorse it in principal, and "take under consideration problems as to the financing of the project." Dr. Cooke told the board that good mosquito and pest control would increase the value of proper ty in the county and the county could then raise the valuation and have more funds from taxes. "If we raised the valuation, five men would get killed," Dr. K. P. B. Bon ner declared, pointing to his four fellow commissioners. "Maybe it would be worth it," replied Dr. Cooke. Philip K. Ball, another member of the committee, pointed out that incorporated towns in the county might be willing to contribute to the program and private individ uals also might contribute. The Rev. R. H. Jackson of Davis was the third member of the committee who appeared before the commis sioners. The control plan calls (or the purchase of one truck with a large fog generator, with three smaller loggers on trailers to be loaned out to volunteers in various communi ties. The** activities would be vo der the control of a central agency with a manager and one full-time employee. The activities of the fog generators would be coordinated in a plan involving government spray ing by air of government property, drainage of certain marshes, an ed ucation program on good sanita tion. and other measures for con trolling mosquito larvae and adults. Dr. Cooke pointed out that it would not be necessary to spray every part of the county. He par ticularly emphasized such infested areas as the narrows of the New port river and the marshes of Bogue Banks opposite Camp Glenn. Mr. Ball also said that most of the mosquitoes came from salt marshes. The committee was asked to con tinue its work and the commission ers said they would make an effort to find some money from some source.

During the five years of its op eration, Morehead City's share of the race track money has gone al most exclusively on the city's streets, George W. Dill, jr., mayor, reported this week during the in vestigation of the dog track. The city has received approxi mately $143,000 in the past not in cluding money from this year's op eration. The city gets 10 per cent of the track's 15 per cent pari-mu tuel take and 10 per cent of the gross receipts from other parts of the track such as concessions, gate, and programs. The first year the track was in operation was 1948. The city put all of its share that year on Evans street. Since that time the money has been spent partially for street paving and part for the purchase of equipment for street work. The equipment purchased in cludes two load packers, a grader, a tractor and a bucket loader. A fire truck was also purchased with some of the money. Indirectly connected with streets, some of the money has been used to provide for drainage around cer tain city streets so that paving can be done later. Only other project which has re ceived money from the track is the purchase of the hospital annex which is being paid off $2,000 per year. The receipts from the track are put into the city's general fund, but Mr. Dill said it has been used largely to get equipment which the town could not have otherwise af forded and to take care of serious paving needs. Last year the city received ap proximately $38,000. This year's city budget estimates its revenue from the track at $29,000 though the total may be much more.

E. M. Foreman, county forester, told the commissioners that the state wanted to know where the county stood and how much money it was going to raise. In this year's budget the commis sioners had appropriated $1,500 for forest service. The state is asking the county for $2,555. The forest service is a program financed jointly by the state and the county. The county's share i> 35 percent of the total cost of the service in the county. In the past the county has sup plemented its share by seeking do nations from the owners of large timber tracts in the county. Last year these donations amounted to $300 with the county's adding $1, 800 to make up its share of $2,100 for last year. The amount has been increased for this year. Mr. Foreman told the county board that the state forestry ser vice had cut the program in Car teret county to the bone for next year if the county did not raise its share, the state would abandon the project. He asked for an answer immediately. The commissioners authorized Dr. K. P. B. Bonner, chairman of the board, and Alvah Hamilton, sr., county attorney, to contact repre sentatives of the big timber owners and sign the state's contract if the private owners would agree to raise $600 for the program. This problem is an annual oc curence. Mr. Hamilton commen ted, "We're always up a tree." A. H. James, clerk of the Sup erior court, made his monthly re port of receipts. The clerk's office received $7,919.76 in July. Of this money $2,693.80 was from the county recorder's court, $202.16 from fees, and $082 from the More head City recorder's coiug, James D. Potter, county auditor, asked the board to pais a resolu tion allowing the transfer to the general fund of all taxes delin quent for two years or more ex cept for levies previously commit ted. The power to do this was granted by the last General Assem bly. State Abolishes Speed Zone on 70 The state highway commission last week wrote an end to a speed zone between New Bern and Cher ry Point and indicated that plans may proceed to acquire rights-of way (or a dual lane U.S. 70. Several months ago a 4 -mile-an hour speed limit was put into ef fect the entire length of U.S. 70 from the Trent river bridge to Cherry Point. The limit was insti tuted on the recommendation of the highway patrol because of the extremely heavy traffic to the air station. At the meeting last week patrol officials defended the zone in the face of numerous complaints. W. H. Rogers, chief highway en gineer, characterize* the limit as "a serious handicap to the travel ing public." "There is no justifi cation for such a speed zone," he said. Highway chairman A. H. Graham said he had inspected the contro versial speed zone and was "sur prised to find such a situation ex isting down there." "It's a long straight stretch 12 miles long with good alignment, swamps on each side and no traffic coming into the highway to speak of. Yet speeds have beentlimited to 45," he said. Aa a substitute the commission approved a recommendation that the limit be repealed. In its place the state limit of 55 miles per hour will be in effect except for the parts near the Trent river bridge and through Cherry Point and Havelock. H. Maynard Hick* of Snow Hill, commissioner for the second di vision, said the "only answer 1 can lee" to the New Bern-Cherry Point traffic situation is a dual lane road. 'It loolu like we ought to get federal aid on it," he continued. Mr. Roger* assured the commis sioner that the highway commission ha* tried in vain to get federal as liitance for the highway. The bu reau of public assistance failed to recommend the highway far milt tary actea* fund*, he pointed out. Chairman Graham aatd. "We know something ha* got to be done ind we might aa well go ?a and let the right-of-way. The loafer we lelay the more it will cod" Race Track Investigators Find Nothing Wrong in Operations + m A. ?

Coast Guard Celebrates 163rd Anniversary Throughout the nation today, the4 approximately 34,000 active mem bers of the Coast Guard will cele brate the 163rd anniversary of the service. Founded as the U.S. Revenue Ma rine in 1790, by first Secretary o( the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, the Coast Guard qualifies aa Via nation's oldest seagoing force. Throughout its history its officers and men, who reached a wartime peak of 172,000 during World War II, have been devoted to service of humanity. A member of the Armed Forces at all times, it is an agency of the Treasury department in peacetime, but serves as a specialized branch of the Navy in time of war or na tional emergency when directed by the President. Coast Guard cutters on the Atlan tic and Pacific provide transocean ships and aircraft with vital rescue facilities and navigational and me teorological support. Air and sea units patrol hundreds of thousands of square miles around the nation's shorelines in rescue and assistance work. During the years since 1914, when the International Ice Patrol was placed under Coast Guard jurisdiction, not a life has been lost through collision of a ship with an iceberg. Around the country's harbors and inland waterways, the service maintains approximately 40,000 aids to navigation. Lifeboat and light stations along all shoreline; stand ready to aid those in distress. In addition to these long-estab lished activities, the Coaat Guard now operates a port security pro gram encompassing ten major port areas, including New York, Phila delphia and Hampton Roada. The program is divided into four parts ?screening of seamen and long shoremen for possible subversives, supervision of explosive* handling, guarding of restricted areas and general security, which includes ship inspection. Commandant of the Coast Guard, recently appointed for a second four-year term, is Vice Adm. Mer lin O'Neill. Commander of the Fifth Coast Guard district with headquarters in Norfolk, is1 Rear Adm. Russell E. Wood, USCG. Man, Woman Arr?st?d On Assault Charges Abraham Williams, Beaufort Ne gro, and Lillian Chadwick, Beau fort Negress, have both been ar rested on warrants charging them with assaulting Alberta Fair, Beau fort Negress. The two were ar rested yesterday by Chief M. E. Guy and Assistant Chief Carlton Garner of tbe Beaufort police de partment. Both are being held in the coun ty jail under $50 booda and will be tried today in municipll re corder's . court Emmett J. Whiserhunt, Cherry Point marine, was arrested o? a charge of driving through ? filling ?lation and driving across two side walks. He is free on $25 bond. James Cox of Pikeville, N. C., was arrested on a charge of failing to atop at ? atop light Be la also tree ?i $35 bond. ? . *i in mi li'iii Rescues in July Set CG Record The number of distress assistance eases handled during July by Coast Guard units in the Fifth dis trict which stretches from the Dela ware border to South Carolina, soared to an all-time record for any other single month, the Coast Guard reported today. Coast Guardsmen assigned to the Fifth District Rescue Coordination center in the Norfolk post office building from which nearly all res cue activities are directed, report July's total of 171 assistance cases breaks all monthly records, at least as far back as old-timers around the office can remember and old record books indicate. And the Coast Guard points to an additional 100 reports of Coast Guard assistance rendered during July that were not of an emergent enough nature to be included on the regular total are still due to be reported to the rescue center in Norfolk. An assistance case is recorded only when a Coast Guard unit ac tually proceeds to give help. Many times during the month the Coast Guard radioed medical information to ships at sea, made communica tions checks on overdue surface and aircraft, and handled similar non-operational cases. Such inci dents were not included in the as sistance totals. The number of assistance cases from previous years coming closest to this July are recorded for July 1951 with 133. July 1952 saw 131 assistance cases, and as the years go back the number of cases de clines. Almost without exception the month of July, with its pleasure boatmen and bathers, accounts for the greatest number of assistance cases handled by the Coast Guard throughout the year. During the past month every thing from the service's shoreline lifeboat stations to aircraft and ma jor cutters were used to participate in a wide variety of cases which ranged from refloating sunken boats to rescuing swimmers caught in rip tides. The lives of some 15 persons and an estimated three million dollars' worth of property were saved. Chief reasons for the greatly in creasing rescue totals probably are that more and more Americans are buying motor boeti and sailing craft every year, and that in the past few years the Coast Guard has consid erably enlarged its fleet of utility and rescue vessels, which give? as sistance to many craft that in the past might have gone unaided. The Coast Guard emphasised that In addition to its search and rescue activities, it had a busy month in its other duties of law en forcement, aids to navigation, port security and marine safety. Law Change May Result The legislative hearings on the operations and ownership of North Carolina's two dog tracks came to a close Friday afternoon with most of the legislators apparently con vinced that the operations are be ing carried out on a high plane. The legislators admitted private ly that the hearings had turned up nothing to substantiate reports that the track operators are connec ted with the underworld. Representative George Uzzell of Salisbury, chairman of the com mission, and Representative J. Y. Jordan of Asheville said that the track owners appear to be men of standing in their communities. Chairman Uzzell and Represent ative B. T. Falls of Shelby said that the commission had no definite plans for making any recommen dations to the general assembly. Mr. Falls said, "Our report is not due until December 1954, so we have plenty of time to think over the things which we have learned in these hearings. It is also a possibility that we may hold more hearings next sumemr." It seems probable, however, that the legislators will recommend that the law be changed to allow fu ture elections on the question of whether or not to allow the tracks to continue in operation. The only election in Morehead Cjity was held in 1939, nine years before the track was established The elec tion in Currituck was held in 1949. The law does not allow future elec tions, and this years' general as sembly refused to change the law. Favor Elections Most of the witnesses who were heard at the hearings here said that they would have no objection to such elections. Paul Cleland, ex ecutive secretary of the Carolina Racing association, said that he had always favored such an election and had, hoped that the last legisla ture would fhange the law to per mit one. Moat of the witnesses ex pressed confidence that the people of Morehead City would vote to continue the operation of the track. D. G. Bell, a member of the Morehead City town board, said that the city would be glad to call an election if it were legal and if a reasonable number of people re quested it. He said that he did not think that the expense of an election would be justified if only a few people wanted an election. Mr. Bell said that he believed that the majority of the people in the town were still in favor of the track. He said that he was not sure about the feelings of the ma jority of the people in the county. Mr. Bell said that he is satisfied that the town is getting its fair share of the track's revenue. He said that he is not an auditor and has not gone into the details of the revenue but that he does at tempt to check the audit. Moat of the witnesses heard at Friday's closing session of the hearings were officers and stock holders of the Carolina Racing as sociation and the Carolina-Virgin ia Racing association which oper ates the Moycock track. Get* Fair Share I. E. Pittman, vice-president of the Pint Citizen's Bank and Trust company, of Morehead City and treaaurer of the Racing association said that he makes out the checks to the racing commis sion for its share of the track's pro ceeds. He said that he is sure that the town geta its fair share, although he relies on the state menta of the auditor. The treaaurer said that he at tenda the races occasionally and be lieves that the track operations are conducted in a satisfactory man ner. He aaid that the conduct of the patrons is good. Mr. Pittman testified that he re ceive* a salary of $1,000 per year aa treaaurer. He also said that, al See HEARING, Page 3 Marin* Exercises Close Certain Areas to Boats Marines will conduct firing exer cise* in the existing danger tone in the Atlantic ocean east of New River inlet thia week, it haa been announced. TKe exercises will be held from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 4, 6, and 7, and from 7 a.m. to 12 noon on Aug. 9. At the fame time it was an nounced by Camp Lejeune head quarters that the area between Browns inlet and Bogue inlet will be haurdous to vessels becauae of firing exercise* from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 5, 0:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 6, and 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 7 and S. All navigation ia urged to avoid thia area during the firing perioda, except for traffic on the intracoas tal waterway which will pot b? stopped. Nine Challenged As Books Close For Special Vote The expected fireworks failed to materialize Saturday when resi dents of the area proposed for an nexation were given the opportuni ty to challenge the registration of those who plan to vote in this week's election. Only nine challenges were pre sented during challenge day, and five of the challenges were made by John Conner registrar for the special election. Mr. Conner challenged five regis trants because they had voted by absentee ballots in other states in the last g^ieral election. The law equires that the registration of such persons be challenged by the registrar. Opponents of annexation pre sented five challenges, but the five persons challenged were the same ones who had already been challenged by the registrar. Proponents of annexation chal lenged the registrations of four residents of a trailer camp in the the area proposed for annexation to Morehead City. Their regis trations were challenged on the grounds that they are here only to work on the new Atlantic eBach bridge and arc not permanent res idents. me uiiaiicngcs win do ncara ai a meeting this week uf the county board o( elections. The meeting will probably be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the polling place. Those who have been challenged and the persons who have chal lenged them will be notified by registered mail to appear at the meeting. If the challenges are upheld the names will be removed (rom the registration books. The lack of challenges surprised most obacrvers who had expected that many of the registrants would be challenged by partisans of one side or the other in the controver sy over the extension of the town limits. It is believed that a recent rul ing by the state board of elections was the main reason that few of the registrants were challenged. The state board ruled that the use of out-of-state license tags on auto mobiles would not necessarily dis qualify the owners from voting in the election. Until the ruling was made it was believed that the reg istrMion of all such persons would be challenged. Both sides are expected to work steadily from now until Saturday in an effort to get out the vote for the election. Committees have been formed to insure that the supporters of each side get to the polls to vote. Committee members for the op ponents of annexation are O. 0. Fulcher and Luther Norris. Com mittee members for the proponents are E. G. McKinley. Howard Fer guson and Julian Murphy. The election will be held Satur day from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Clyde Jones show room, 28th and Arendell streets, Morchead City.
